As Head Teacher, I feel very proud to be given the opportunity to lead such a special place. It is my strong belief that leading a school in this present day is the most challenging, exciting and stimulating job that anybody could wish for.

At St. Joseph’s we are committed to providing a consistently safe, positive, stimulating, rewarding and happy learning environment. We work hard to ensure that every child has the opportunity to achieve their very best, growing up secure in the love of God. We have high expectations of ourselves and the children in our care and aim to encourage them to learn, develop and grow into responsible, caring young people within a climate of respect, warmth and understanding.

At St. Joseph’s we are proud of our academic achievements, last year we were one of the top 100 schools in the country, and we work hard so that all our pupils feel inspired and motivated to learn. Our children are encouraged to be caring and supportive to everyone and to develop confidence, independence and resilience. At St Joseph’s, we all believe, genuinely and unequivocally, in the capacity and potential of every child made in the image of God.

As Head, I recognise the huge responsibility we have as a school to do the best we possibly can for your child. I want you to feel confident that we take this responsibility seriously and will endeavour to do our very best for every individual child in our care. Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website. We are very proud of all we have to offer and are confident that your son or daughter will be both challenged and cherished in their time with us.
